Biography
Hamid Hassan Raza was a Sunni Muslim, and he became the imam of the Masjid al-Ansar mosque in Brooklyn, New York City in 2008 upon its opening. Ever since then, he had concerns about FBI surveillance of his mosque, as it diverted his time away from preaching, and he claimed that the New York Police Department prevented him from fulfilling his duties as a minister, educator, and scholar. On 21 June 2013, he pursued legal action against the US government as a result of these issues.
